CityDance Ensemble Presents Born to Run - Dance Set to Springsteeen

Iconic music, legendary lyrics and electrifying choreography drive CityDance Ensemble's premiere performance at the Lansburgh Theatre. An anthem to youth, adventure and growing up in America, this concert presents music as only Bruce Springsteen can sing it and dance as only CityDance can deliver it.

Reviews & Ratings

Four out of the six dance numbers were outstanding. The other two had lackluster movement with painful, way-too-loud noises instead of music. The performance could be greatly improved by simply eliminating those two numbers.

The best thing was a reconstruction of "Harmonica Breakdown." Our Goldstar tix were in the front row, which is not great for watching dance, but the show was not sold out and we were able to move back to great seats.
